Since I cannot now receive You sacramentally,

I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite myself wholly to You… Read more »

L-Omelija tal-Isqof Awżiljarju Joseph Galea-Curmi
Hemm żewġ kelmiet speċjali f’dan ir-rakkont twil li għadna kemm smajna: “Ġesù beka”. Huma kelmiet speċjali f’din is-sentenza li hi waħda mill-iqsar li hemm fl-Iskrittura kollha. U speċjali għax naraw f’dan ir-rakkont lil Ġesù jibki għax Lazzru kien ħabib tiegħu, u jibki għax ħassu emozzjonat meta jara lil ħutu u lin-nies l-oħra wkoll jibku t-telfa ta’ Lazzru.
Ġesù jifhimna, hu wkoll għadda mit-tbatija, u jista’ jifhem dak li qed inħossu f’dawn iż-żminijiet… Read more »

“Mulej, kieku kont hawn, ħija ma kienx imut” (Ġw 11:21). Marija, bħal Marta oħtha, hija mnikkta minħabba l-mewt ta’ ħuhom Lazzru. Tirrepeti l-istess kliem li kienet qalet l-istess oħtha ftit qabel: “Mulej, kieku kont hawn ħija ma kienx imut” (Ġw 11:32).
